I use it for my movies, but the songs are limited, like there’s no Phonk and what not, no OG’s like Micheal Jackson ### 4/5 — Avis *2026-08-23, version 1.98.2* Merci pour toutes ces possibilités que vous nous donner dans les montages et surtout simple d’utilisation Par contre comment voir pendant mon montage la durée de ma vidéo finale avant de la télécharger ? ### 4/5 — Nice *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* Really nice love it♥️ ### 4/5 — Like it! *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* This app is great and all, but I feel like too many things are only for VIP. I feel like the people who don’t have VIP makes it harder for them to find like cool features and stuff like that. I love the app otherwise though. It’s super fun and I made a TON of videos with InShot. I just feel like we have to pay for too many things. ### 5/5 — YOU NEED THIS!!! *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* I love this app so much, you can make different type of videos, you make really cool edits, you can extract songs in your camera roll, on thing is that every song is copyrighted and you can't do it so you have to screen share the song AND then extract it but is also really easy to use WITHOUT Internet ### 5/5 — Great editor *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* I love the simplicity and friendly UI editor has been simplified and enhanced and even with free version you get most of the features! ### 5/5 — A must have *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* I can’t get by without my InShot app. Very easy to use and best over video editing interface. I would like to see a web version in the future. ### 5/5 — just got the back-to-school sale *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* i’ve been using this app for years!! its so well done and intuitive. i finally decided to subscribe to pro since the yearly is 9.99 for the first year and i’m super happy i did!! it still is a great app tho even if you don’t subscribe :) ### 5/5 — Inshot *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* I like this app so much!😃 ### 5/5 — It l like it tho *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* InShot really said, “You want to edit a video? Easy.” Then I opened the app and suddenly I’m fighting for my life trying to find the right button. 😭 I add one transition and now my video looks like it was edited by NASA. Then I spend 45 minutes making the perfect edit just for InShot to be like, “💧Watermark.” LIKE GIRL, WE’VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH. 😭 ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* Ilimitado de por vida por así de tanto lo vale! 🙏🏼🙌🏼 GRACIAS ### 5/5 — Best app for edits *2026-08-22, version 1.98.2* Perfect for editing on phones ### 4/5 — Thingy *2026-08-21, version 1.98.2* It’s a pretty good app for making my rants or tweeing but one thing I don’t rlly like about it is how hard it is to understand but I eventually got used to it (kindaa) ### 5/5 — Super App *2026-08-21, version 1.98.2* Love all about InShot. Easy, fast, convenient, enjoyable ### 5/5 — Mis películas *2026-08-21, version 1.98.2* Con esta herramienta puede editar mis films de una manera excelente, cómoda y divertida. Y eso que todavía no controlo todas ellas. La paso muy bien y tengo detalladamente todas mis fiestecitas ### 3/5 — New update kinda ruins it *2026-08-21, version 1.98.2* The text interface was updated for the text history and I’m not a big fan on why it changed. sometimes I try to edit the text wondering why it isn’t working just to realize I need to double click it, also the text box seeps over the video frame so the text gets cut off, where as it used to snap to the edge. I would revert the ui for the text history back and fix the text box issue. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-08-21, version 1.98.2* I’ve been using InShot for about 5 years, during that time I’ve been downloading some other apps but nothing works better for me. InShot is user friendly, so easy to figure out, I edit pictures and videos and beyond happy. ### 5/5 — The new updates *2026-08-21, version 1.98.2* The new updates mad it amazing to make mite videos!! ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥 *2026-08-21, version 1.98.2* Brutal!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ужасно, удаляю *2026-08-21, version 1.98.2* Не работает сохранение уровня громкости у аудио. В итоге мой голос не слышно. ### 1/5 — Good but… *2026-08-17, version 1.98.2* This app is good but it may need some fixes. I am trying to make some songs to share but I have to record me singing then I put some auto tune on it and I showed it to my friends and it sounded so bad so can you pls put some real good auto tune on it and maybe say if you were making a song you could write it or paste it and you can get a AI voice that sounds real to sing it . But this I just my input others have different opinions. ### 1/5 — Horrid Editor *2026-08-16, version 1.98.2* This isn’t even funny how bad it is. In app purchases for simple tools and small emoji packs, constant ads in your face unless you upgrade, the thing even tried putting a fake ‘Virus Alert’ message in my face. That last one is an INSTANT do not trust sign! ### 1/5 — Worse than CapCut *2026-08-16, version 1.98.2* If inshot added the Tung Sahur dance trend to inshot I would’ve given this app 5 stars but no. My mom won’t let me get CapCut so she got me inshot and I regret it don’t get inshot because it scammed me and it probably will scam you too. ### 1/5 — Sexually Violent Audio added to my InShot Imported Library? *2026-08-16, version 1.98.2* ⚠️ Parental Warning! This requires an immediate explanation from InShot. InShot is currently rated Ages 4+ in Apple’s App Store. It’s marketed to children and they are using this app. That makes the unexplained appearance of sexually violent audio particularly disturbing. Audio I imported into an InShot project was inexplicably replaced (or added) with disturbing, graphic audio depicting what sounds to be a horrifying and violent gang rape. I did not import, download, select, or possess this material. I preserved a screen recording documenting the audio playing inside my In Shot music import library. I reported the incident to InShot. Afterward, I OFFLOADED—not deleted—the app through iOS. When I reinstalled it, approximately a year's worth of projects, videos, music, and work were gone. This raises serious questions about content safety, data integrity, and how an unauthorized audio file became associated with my private project. I am asking In Shot to publicly acknowledge this complaint, preserve all potentially relevant records, investigate the source of the audio, explain the loss of my project data, and provide me with a substantive response—not a generic customer-service reply. InShot uses FMOD Audio Architecture FMOD is much more than a simple "audio player." It is a professional audio engine and middleware system made by Firelight Technologies Pty Ltd., an Australian company. Developers integrate the FMOD Engine into their own apps and games so the app can load, decode, play, stream, mix, process, and control audio. FMOD's architecture has two main layers: the FMOD Studio API, which is designed for more complex adaptive audio behavior, and the lower-level FMOD Core API, which handles fundamental operations such as loading a sound into memory, opening audio for streaming, creating audio-processing/DSP components, and managing playback channels. In practical terms, an app developer can use FMOD to do things such as: * load an audio file and play it; * stream audio rather than loading the entire file at once; * mix multiple audio sources together; * change volume, pitch, playback position, looping and other parameters; * apply effects or other digital signal processing; * organize audio into channels/groups; * dynamically choose or manipulate sounds depending on what the application is doing. And this is directly relevant to InShot: InShot itself identifies "FMOD Engine by Firelight Technologies" an Audio Engine used within InShot in its privacy documentatio. Again, InShot is currently rated for ages 4+ in Apple's App Store! That makes the unexplained appearance of sexually violent audio especially concerning for parents. ### 1/5 — Won’t download files no help to be found *2026-08-15, version 1.97.0* I used to love this app to where I paid for lifetime, but now for the last few weeks when trying to download videos including SPONSORED CONTENT it will get stuck while downloading and will not finish. It started happening a few weeks back but if I kept trying it’d eventually work. Now it won’t. This app has now cost me two jobs. No help to be found either. ### 1/5 — Great *2026-08-15, version 1.98.2* I think it’s just capcut 🫪🫪🫪 ### 1/5 — Will not export *2026-08-15, version 1.98.0* At first I loved this app, now I cannot export my videos (I spent hours on) to save my life. And I pay for premium. Not cool. ### 1/5 — Че нельзя больше треков то добавить? Нужного трека нет и где его искать не понятно *2026-08-14, version 1.98.2* Че нельзя больше треков то добавить?
